I'll be sure to ride past it a couple of times and let you know how much the counter goes up.
That is a problem with this. You can only estimate based on the average trip distance of a typical cyclist in the area. The sensor only knows that somebody went by it. It won't know how long they were riding. Gas savings really only apply if the trip is one they would have otherwise taken by car. The sensor won't know that either.
